Bow Thrusters

Why a bow thruster? During maneuvering, when the ship is almost at a stillstand, control over the vessel is rather poor, especially in windy conditions. Bow thrusters are electrically driven radial propellers, which allow the ship to move laterally.

Why a bow thruster? During maneuvering, when the ship is almost at a stillstand, control over the vessel is rather poor, especially in windy conditions. Bow thrusters are electrically driven radial propellers, which allow the ship to move laterally.

A simple push of a button moves the bow in either a port or starboard direction. In a comparable manner, the aft side of a ship can be laterally offset, mainly by incorporating a stern thruster, which is available upon request. We are happy to assist you in selecting the appropriate bow thruster for your boat. Relevant calculations are available.

What influences thrust power?
The nominal specified thrust can only be achieved under optimum conditions.
The following factors may affect thrust:

Low voltage for the motor

The pipe tunnel is not properly connected to the ship's hull

The openings of the pipe tunnel are fixed with rods or grids.

Install the bow thrusters in such a manner that they are always easily accessible.
